Atrocity Exhibition
''Atrocity Exhibition'' is a 1980 song by Joy Division, the opening track on their second and final album "Closer". It was produced by Martin Hannett, and recorded at Pink Floyd's Britannia Row Studio, London.
Partially inspired by the 1970 J. G. Ballard collection of "condensed novels" of the same same,〔Dowling, Stephen. "(What pop music tells us about JG Ballard )". BBC, 20 April 2009. Retrieved 5 July 2015〕 the track is lyrically and musically bleak. Ned Raggett of AllMusic described it as "one of the least likely opening songs from any album — even if the core chorus from Ian Curtis is 'This is the way, step inside'".〔Raggett, Ned. "(Atrocity Exhibition )". AllMusic, Retrieved 5 July 2015〕
==Writing and recording==
Unlike the tracks on "Unknown Pleasures" which were written well before the album, had been played live many times and were fully formed before recording, the material for "Closer" was put together just before or during the band's time in the studio.〔Sumner, 128〕 As with most other Joy Division songs, it was written by jamming in their practice room.〔Sumner, 78〕 Bassist Peter Hook and guitarist Bernard Sumner swapped instruments when writing and recording the track; according to Hook, they "were bored writing on our instruments so we just through ''Lets swap''. Barney played bass and I played guitar. I was nowhere as proficient a guitarist as him, mind you, but I liked the way it sounds. Great riff, Great bass too".〔"h42">Hook, 42〕
Hannett's production has been highly praised, with Pitchfork describing it as "sepulchral".〔Klien, Joshua. "(Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures )". pitchfork.com. 29 October 2007. Retrieved 5 July 2015〕 However, as with their debut album ''Unknown Pleasures'', both Hook and Sumner were unhappy with Hannett's work. Hook said that the track was mixed on one of his days off, and when he heard the final product was disappointed that the abrasiveness of his guitar part had been laden with effects and toned down. He wrote; "I was like, head in hands, oh fucking hell, its happening again. Unknown Pleasures number two...Martin () had melted the guitar with his Marshall Time Waster. Made it sound like somebody strangling a cat, and to my mind, absolutely killed the song. I was so annoyed with him and went in and gave him a piece of my mind but he just turned around and told me to fuck off".〔
